Base Station Communication Path Setting via Position Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In disaster-stricken or poorly connected areas, independent base stations with their own cores cannot communicate with each other, limiting the ability to establish communication paths between communication terminals connected to different base stations.
Innovation Solution
A base station system that includes a position information acquisition unit, a subordinate terminal information sharing unit, and a path setting unit, allowing base stations to share position and terminal information with each other to set communication paths across multiple integrated-type base stations, enabling communication between terminals connected to different base stations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each base station is provided with a core and is independent from others, then each base station can operate autonomously, but communication terminals cannot use other base stations even when connected to a certain base station
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent base stations with their own cores into a coordinated network where base stations share position information and terminal information. This allows base stations to function independently while enabling communication path routing between terminals connected to different base stations through the path setting unit that utilizes shared information from multiple bases.
2Area of stationary object
If a plurality of base stations are used in cooperation to secure coverage area, then communication coverage is expanded, but communication amount in each terminal increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and shares only the necessary position information and terminal information between base stations, rather than requiring full communication data exchange. The path setting unit uses this extracted information to determine optimal communication paths, reducing the overall communication amount while maintaining expanded coverage capability.

AI summary
The base station includes: a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of the base station; a subordinate terminal information sharing unit that shares the position information of the base station and subordinate terminal information of the base station with one or more peripheral base stations in a vicinity of the base station, and acquires position information for each of the peripheral base stations and subordinate terminal information for each of the peripheral base stations; a communication request acceptance unit that accepts a communication request from a first communication terminal being subordinate to the base station to a second communication terminal being subordinate to one of the peripheral base stations; and a path setting unit that sets a communication path from the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal, based on position information of the base station, position information of each peripheral base station, and subordinate terminal information.
